The clock keeps ticking, I'm standing still
You're the reason I'm here and I know I always will
I see your shadow in every passing dream
The echoes of your laughter still make my heart scream
I'm good at pretending everything's okay
Putting on a smile just to get through the day
But when the night falls and the silence grows
I'm left with nothing but the emptiness I know
I'm a master of waiting, I've learned it for you
I've spent countless nights under the same old moon
Holding on to hope though I know it's all in vain
But I can't help loving you even through the pain
As streetlights flicker,
I walk these empty roads I see us dancing in the glow of long ago
But every memory's fading,
turning into dust
And still I wait, believing in what once was us
I'm good at hiding how much it tears me down
I laugh when they ask why I still stick around
But in the quiet,
when no one else is near The tears I hold inside start to reappear
I'm a master of waiting, I've learned it for you
I've spent countless nights under the same old moon
Holding on to hope though I know it's all in vain
But I can't help loving you even through the pain
I know I should move on,
let go of this dream But something in my heart keeps pulling at
the seams It whispers in the dark,
saying you might
turn around
That maybe someday somehow, love will bring
you back to town
